My father underwent a stent procedure, called angioplasty, in 2012. Reports suggest the doctor and hospital charged significantly higher than usual, possibly sharing profits from the stent cost. Can we seek a refund from the hospital and the doctor involved?

Indian law permits seeking refunds for inflated medical charges, especially if proven to be unethical or illegal. However, proving profit sharing between the doctor and hospital requires substantial evidence, including documentation of inflated prices and financial transactions.

I’ve got a business idea and a plan, but I’m not ready to set up a physical office just yet. Before I take the leap, I’d love some guidance: 1. What type of Trademark should I register for a business with various services? 2. Do I need a physical address to register the name? 3. Can I open a bank account under the company name before I have an office? 4. Is the Trademark fee a one-time payment, or are there recurring costs? 5. Where can I check online to see if my desired Trademark is available? 6. How can I register the company online? 7. What documents do I need for both company and Trademark registration?

I opened a fast food joint in Thane called “Khao Galli” and registered the name under class 43. After two years, I decided to sell the business. Since the location was rented, I found a buyer and introduced them to the landlord. They signed a new lease agreement, and I cancelled mine. However, the new owner is still using my “Khao Galli” name even though they’re operating under a different name on the lease. We had agreed on a business transfer agreement, but it’s not finalized, and now they’re trying to renegotiate the price, which feels unfair. What are my options? Can I take action since the trademark is still registered in my name, even though they have a lease agreement with a different name? Also, can I open a similar restaurant elsewhere without any legal issues, considering the trademark remains registered under my name? The trademark currently shows “Objected” online, due to a recent query, but I’ve already submitted a legal response.

I’m pursuing my MBBS in Bangalore under RGUHS. I recently appeared for my second year exams and unfortunately failed in two subjects, with a mere one mark difference in one of them. I applied for a re-evaluation and photocopy of my answer scripts. To my surprise, there’s a thirteen-mark difference between the initial and re-evaluated scores, and the final result is based on their average. Even my Head of Department believes I should have scored higher. I approached the sub-registrar at RGUHS requesting a third evaluation, as just one mark is keeping me from passing. I’m confident I can score better. But, they informed me that a third evaluation is only possible with a fifteen-mark difference, and for a thirteen-mark discrepancy, I need to file a case. Is there any way I can get a third evaluation or appeal this decision?
